When signing a player a top manager will see if a player fits in because he signs him with a view to making an impact, he also is supposed to be a good judge that if he signs a player on a contract rather than a loan, the manager thinks he may be around for a while. The fact that 2 of his permanent signings and 1 loan have left shortly after signing worries me about Pressley's judge of character as much as seeing a players talent.
Well in the respect of Slager he was never a player that Pressley said would make a sudden impact he was a player for the future..

I'm not really including loans in judging Pressley's ability to sign players as most of them were probably only signed as short term.
From 5 permanent signings, two of them have already left and Urqhart is no where near the squad. The only ones to make an impact are Seabourne and Webster and they are part of one of the worst defences in the league
Urqhart - Deemed a player for the future we were told this when he signed.
Slager - Deemed a player for the future we were told this when he signed.
Manset - Didn't work hard enough and seemed to lose interest, but had undoubted ability.
Webster - The jury is still out on him.
Seaborne - Is a very good defender, he has experienced three promotions.
So 3/5 of the permanent signings can really be forgiven then?

Then why has he gone?

Whats your point with this post. If it is to show what good signings they were then WTF. Urqhart is nowhere near the first team, Slager and Manset gone after a very short time, Webster is shit (lets be honest) and Seabourne is part of the worst defence in the league. So 3/5 what?
I don't know why we would sign players older than a youth players "for the future" and they are still lower down than our 16 year olds?
Slager clearly isn't a player for the future as he has left, disaster signingUrqhart - Deemed a player for the future we were told this when he signed.

They aren't lower than our 16 year olds Urqhart is in the development squad, George Thomas got a chance because we had no other option, I am sure Pressley would have considered the same had we had the same issue at CB.

Slager clearly isn't a player for the future as he has left, disaster signing. - How often have you seen him play can you say that the ability of Slager didn't warrant us signing him?
We knew that about Manset before he signed, all his previous clubs said it. We also had him on trial before and knew what sort of player we were signing, disaster signing. - Fair point, but we had no other options at that point, we were lucky in the fact that Leon and Callum hit it off, it could have easily been different.
Urqhart, fair point. Although is there a reason he has hardly made the bench at all though this season when players as young as 16 have been regularly on our bench this season? - You can't compare players in that respect it is common sense that up until the Orient game when Thomas played we had more options at CB then we have had up front at any time during the season so of course a 16 year old will be thrusted in.
Seabourne and Webster, it would be insane to call either a success with the number of goals we continue to concede. Websters been here for 2/3 of a season and hasn't done what he was signed for, he's in his 30s and is only declining as a player - Webster you have point on but I think you're writing Danny off to early.
I mean lower down in the pecking order. If our 16 year olds are above him by getting on the bench, why sign him?
Do you mean Slager or Urqhart Nick?

It's not justifying how good what player is or isn't, it highlights that two players have yet to feature because they are still not ready, one player wasn't patient enough, Seaborne came in and you feel he brought something to the back line, Webster I am not sure on in truth but Pressley trusts him so therefore I trust Pressley.

Both.
If Pressley told you his turd was a Lion bar would you eat it? I not having a go at Pressley for the work he has done for the team, just his work so far in the transfer market has been questionable at best.
